Perfect for Gramps, Dad or fans old and young whose imaginations are captured by stories like Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, this would make a wonderful gift - and you have time to frame and wrap it. Or get creative and make it a scroll, wrap it in older ribbon, drip some sealing wax on it… you get the fun.
You can also get a map specially made of your own neighborhood, if there is something ancestral going on, for someone's 90th birthday, a wedding anniversary, a celebration of a new home bought or an old family home renovated.
It costs a pretty penny at $150 but can be an heirloom gift… You can read all about that HERE.
